Cartoon Network has taken
some heat lately for being too P.C., even
here on MetaFilter. Well, here's their chance to redeem the network. Sunday evening, 9:00 - 10:00 PM Eastern/Pacific,
ToonHeads Goes To War, including four rarely-seen wartime cartoons in their entirety:
"Blitz Wolf" where the three little pigs face off against a treaty-breaking, German-speaking wolf;
"Scrap Happy Daffy" featuring Daffy promoting the recycling of scrap metal and butting heads with a goat that bears a striking resemblance to Adolf Hitler;
"Herr Meets Hare," where Bugs Bunny tangles with Nazi minister Hermann Goering; and in
"Russian Rhapsody", a plane full of "gremlins from the Kremlin" attack a bomber piloted by the Nazi leader himself.
